When gonorrhea causes PID, it ascends from the vagina, through the cervix to the uterus, and through the fallopian tubes to the pelvic cavity. Early treatment of gonorrhea is important in preventing PID.
Both gonorrhea and chlamydia may cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Many cases occur without chlamydia or gonorrhea, though.
Pelvic inflammatory disease is an infection or inflammation of the uterus, Fallopian tubes, and the area around the ovaries. It can be caused by gonorrhea, but there are other possible (and more common) causes.
Usually Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is usually caused by Sexually Transmitted Infections most commonly the Chlamydia and Gonorrhea.

It is rare, but possible, to have Pelvic Inflammatory Disease without having an STD. Normally, the cervix prevents bacteria that enter the vagina from spreading to the internal reproductive organs. If the cervix is exposed to a sexually transmitted disease -- such as gonorrhea and/orchlamydia -- the cervix itself becomes infected and less able to prevent the spread of organisms to the internal organs. PID occurs when the disease-causing organisms travel from the cervix to the upper genital tract. Untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia cause about 90% of all cases of PID. Other causes include abortion, childbirth, and pelvic procedures. It is rare, but you can get PID without having an STD. No one is sure why, but normal bacteria found in the vagina and on the cervix can sometimes cause PID.
